[OT] Quicktime in Windows apps

[Graham Samuel]

I guess this is a bit OT, but it must be relevant to RR developers. I 
have some apps that originated in the Mac environment, where they 
happily used QuickTime movies. Now that I'm revising these and making 
them cross-platform (using Runtime Revolution, of course!), I have 
all along assumed that I would continue to use QT. However, my 
publisher is querying this, saying that the customers (schools, the 
smallest of which do not have dedicated IT people and may also not 
have broadband internet access) may be confused by the requirement 
for QT on Windows machines and will thus find the apps unusable. This 
is not welcome to me, partly because I know nothing about the Windows 
'equivalent' to QT, and partly because RR seems much happier with QT 
movies than other kinds, particularly if one wants to do tricky 
things like play the movies at different speeds etc.

Has any other lister come across this dilemma, and if so how did they solve it?

TIA

Graham
